Tips for the new gods:
- Welcome to the godhood! It might sound scary, but don't be intimidated! You are all powerful beings. Try to learn how to control yourself as much as possible. Take everything slowly and do not assume something works just because it worked when you were still human. Most people think of the gods as human beings with incredible powers but what most people forget is that our powers change radically from day to day. A god might go crazy and kill a vilge during a fit of madness or fall to tears for no reason. Don't let your pride get in the way. That's how you lose your grip on the power you hold. The greatest dangers will come from within. Be sure to study carefully each piece of advice this guide offers and once you believe you have a firm grasp on them, move on to the next!
-Now, for more precise questions you may ask. First and foremost, please remember that none of this advice is set in stone. I'm a god after all. I make mistakes and I've been a human too so I know how difficult it can be. I'll try to keep things as up to date as possible but I can't promise anything! I may not be able to answer some of your questions! Also, please note that I do not consider myself a guru, nor a sage. I don't even consider myself very wise. I'm just trying to help out a few gods who may need some help.
-Gods are immortal. Gods can die but they have an almost infinite amount of time to live. You may choose to live a thousand years if you so desire. A god's life depends on their body but also their mind. Like the old proverb that is old as the multiverse itself, "With sound mind comes sound body." If a god is happy with their life and their body, then they are likely to live longer and become a legend in the process!
-Most gods do not like to travel. Even though most gods have a permanent base of operations, they usually stay in their own region or maybe in their own continent if they have a rge following. It's extremely rare that a god will ever visit another pnet, or another sor system even.
-Most gods have a main form. That means, they usually don't shift into other forms unless they have to. For instance, the god of healing is a white robed man. If you ever see him in person, he'll probably look like that. That doesn't mean he can't take any other form though. It all depends on the god, and how comfortable they are with that form.
-Most gods prefer to live alone. I've never met a god who wanted a family or anything like that. Most gods want to keep things simple and enjoy their own company. Of course, there are exceptions, like countless pantheons across the multiverse where the gods are bound together by blood or by marriage or something like that. I would advise against those kinds of arrangements. Gods aren't human, so you can't just treat them like one. Be careful with that stuff.
-Some gods have children! I've heard of plenty of gods having children with gods and mortals too! If you want to be a dad, go for it! Just be aware of how the godhood might affect your kids. There's nothing more terrifying than a parent suddenly losing control over their child!
-Gods can eat and drink! Most gods will not eat because they think it's a mortal thing, but it's actually not! You as a new god, I advise you not to be afraid of food. Enjoy yourself as much as possible and try out as many different food and drinks as possible. Even if it's not part of your race's natural diet, try it out at least once. Some races enjoy things humans would consider gross (Like blood pudding!) Some races prefer certain types of meat (like dragon or mermaid or minotaur or something!) Others have an incredibly rich variety of delicacies (like elves, who have a long tradition of gourmet food.) Don't worry about offending anyone; no one will judge you for being a picky eater, not if you don't start being picky in front of mortals. You will grow out of that eventually!
-Gods can have pets! But I advise you first to find a compatible species. A dog might be a good pet for a wolf or an elven god might be better off with an owl or something else. Gods tend to be creatures of habit so make sure you know what species is best suited to be your pet before you bring it home. Just don't let your pet out to py until you are sure it's going to be alright.
-Gods can have a harem! Or more than one harem! Or even harem through the universes! But that's up to you. If you can handle it, then you can have as many wives as you want. I advise that you do not be in a harem with another god though! That would just be too much trouble!
-Some gods are very protective of their bodies. You should expect this from your body, and from your lovers as well. If someone hurts you, they may very well end up dead or worse! A good way to gauge whether someone is worth protecting you is whether or not they're willing to protect you first! If they're willing to fight for you, they're worth your trust.
-You're welcome to go around and mess with mortals' lives as much as you want but you have to remember that mortals aren't your enemies! Your meddling could change the fate of everything, including you, dear young god. Be careful!
-Being a god is hard work! It's not easy to be one! It can be even harder for gods who were once mortals themselves. They still have to deal with the memories and habits of their old life, which can be difficult. Try to surround yourself with friends and allies who will support you and understand you.
-A god's powers are vast and can be very dangerous! I'd like to think I'm an honorable god and I try to only use my powers when it's necessary but I'm not perfect! If I get too angry or too excited, I can accidentally kill people, even mortals! Don't let your ego get in the way. The most dangerous power a god can have is that of uncontrolled strength! Be careful how you use your strength, how much you use it, and when you use it! If you're stronger than you should be, that might cause you to become careless and that will endanger everyone around you.
-It's okay to make mistakes but don't get discouraged if they happen! You can always try again and again if you just try your best. Also, please try not to make the same mistake twice! That's not cool.
Thank you for reading this guide to being a god, I hope it helps you!

The Guide to Being a God - Part Two: The Ranks of the Godhood
So now that you know what to expect from the ranks of the gods, we're going to talk about what's expected from you! As a god, it's important that you understand what you need to do to get where you want to be. If you don't know how to get to where you want to be, then how will you ever get there? It's like when you want to become a doctor; if you don't know how to become one, how are you going to go and get the training? You will never know until you study, learn, and practice what it takes. In the same way, if you don't know what you need to do to become a god, then how can you expect to do it?
Now, before I start going into each rank and what you need to do to get there, I will start by expining the different ranks of the godhood and what each rank means.
First rank: New god
This rank is the first one after becoming a god. If you are a human and have never had a body or mind before, then this is the rank that applies to you. It means you were a mortal, and if you're was an object, it means you were a divine object. In either case, this rank means you were brought into existence from nothingness and given a new body. There are no other requirements needed to gain this rank other than being new and gaining your divine powers.
Second rank: Ordinary god
This rank means you have gained your powers, but still ck in experience. It means that your divine body has been created but that it needs some time to fully develop and mature. For example, if you became a human god with all the powers and abilities of a human but you weren't born as one, then this rank applies to you. It means that you need some time before you can become an extraordinary god.
Third rank: Extraordinary god
This rank means you have become a fully formed deity and have all the powers of one as well. You already control at least one small pnet and your powers have been tested through battles with other gods and mortals. This is the most common rank for gods, and it is what most of them aim for when they reach for power.
Fourth rank: Arch-God
This rank means that your godly powers have reached a pinnacle of strength and power and that they have spread across multiple sor systems in the universe. It means that your power is not just in the sor system that you were born in but that your powers are in every sor system of your pnet or star system. Now, you can control everything in every sor system that was originally part of your home sor system. This is not the rank that most gods reach for; it is only achieved by a very few.
Fifth rank: Ancient God
This rank means that your power has spread across the universe, and your power has even reached beyond it! You may be able to control every single pnet and star system in your gaxy! Your powers have reached so far that they've even reached across the multiverse! If you have become an ancient god, then you can control entire realities if not more! There are very few gods who reach this rank and it is only achieved when the gods themselves decide it is time. There are no requirements needed for this rank. It is what the gods decide that counts.
Sixth rank: Great One
There is only one God that reached this rank. We call him Great One, and he is infinite in his power and knowledge. He knows all that is, was, and will ever be! He knows the secrets of every universe, past, present, and future! He is the only being who has seen everything there is to see, even if it isn't here yet! No other gods have even reached for this rank! This is a rank that only one god in the history of the universe has ever achieved and no other will ever reach!
***
Now that you know about the different ranks, let's talk about how to reach them. Now, there is no rank that cannot be reached unless the gods decide otherwise but there are certain requirements that must be met in order to get each rank. Let's go through each one of them starting at the first rank...
***
Congradutions! You've become a god! Either you're a human, or some being of pure energy, and you have gained your power! As a mortal, you had to be given a body or else you would have vanished into thin air when you died. As an immortal being of pure energy, you were able to exist without a body before this moment. You either gained your body or your mind when you became a god. Either way, you're now a fully-fledged god and now you have to decide what you're going to do with this new life!
I want to go over how to get started in your new life as a god and how to use your new power. As a mortal, you had a life full of experiences that made up who you are as a person. You've lived many lives and many people have come and gone in your life. Your divinity came from these experiences; you gained your power because of these experiences! As a god, you must go through the same process in order to understand what makes you who you are. Now that you have become a god, you'll be living through experiences that no other mortal has had.
In order to understand who you are as a god, go through these steps...
First, learn about yourself. You need to find out your own likes and dislikes. What do you enjoy doing? What don't you like? These things will help you make decisions about what to do with your new life. You can do this by going through memories from your life. When you do this, take note of anything that interests you. If it interests you, then think about it more. You might be interested in doing this because your memory could tell you something important about yourself. Or, if you don't care about that, it could also tell you something about your personality! Who knows? Either way, this is a good way to learn about yourself.
Second, learn about others. In order to learn about yourself, you need to learn about others. Learn about their interests, likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, and anything else about them that is relevant. You can do this by talking to them about their lives, or just watching what they do. Take note of anything that interests you. If it interests you, then think about it more. You might be interested in doing this because your memory could tell you something important about others.
Third, increase your influence. Now that you know what you like and what interests others, you'll need to get used to the idea that your power comes from the experiences of others and the world around you. If you don't do this step, then you will never be able to influence others because you won't know how. As a god, you should want to influence others; there is no reason why a god would not want to have influence on others. Think about the different ways that a god could use their powers.
They are boring steps, but most practical. Killing everyone or not having anyone remember your existence is not a good way to live! So, learn about yourself, others, and the world around you and learn how to use your powers as a god! Good luck!

Congratutions, you now have control over your pnet! Either you was benevolent, or gained power through defending your people from the gods that didn't like your ways! Whatever the case may be, this was a great day for your people because they are now free of oppression. They can finally be themselves without fear of being attacked by other gods! You've become a protector of your people! Now, you just need to know how to use your powers and how to deal with the other gods out there!
As a extraordinary god, there are many things that you have to do in order to protect your pnet from the other gods and their attacks. You have to learn how to fight using your powers and how to use your powers to protect yourself from attacks. You have to know what kind of powers are best for each situation. The only way you will know how to use your powers is if you actually practice using them. As a god, you will always have enemies attacking you so learning how to defend yourself is a must!
First, you should learn how to defend yourself against other gods! A lot of the time when gods fight each other, it is because one has a different belief system than the other. The best way for them to defend themselves against the other gods is to attack the other gods' pnets! If you fear that you'll die if you invade, make your followers do it for you. This way, they will still get the glory for defeating the gods on the other pnets! If they're afraid of dying or losing their power, then they'll be much more willing to fight the gods than if they think they'll die for them. Also, if they feel that they're invincible in battle and that nothing can defeat them, then they won't try hard enough to win battles! They'll be happy enough just defeating the other gods! This is how gods grow stronger!
Next, you should learn how to use your powers! You can't fight as a god unless you learn how to use your powers properly. I skipped the ordinary god rank because of that. Either you become efficient, or you'll die quickly. Also, there are other things that you can do with your powers. There are many ways that gods can use their powers. If you can't think of any, then just wait until the gods attack your pnet and use their powers against them. You will figure it out eventually!
The only thing that really matters is that you know how to defend yourself against an invasion. You'll want to prepare for any type of attack against you! This will give you the best chance of surviving!
